This work contains the results of a series of reduction studies
on polyhalogenated aromatic compounds and related ethers using alkali
metals in liquid ammonia.
In general, polychlorobenzenes were reduced to t he parent ...

The spatial limits of the active site in the benzylic hydroxylase
enzyme of the fungus Mortierella isabellina were investigated. Several
molecular probes were used in incubation experiments to determine the
acceptability ...

In Part I, theoretical derivations for Variational Monte Carlo
calculations are compared with results from a numerical calculation of
He; both indicate that minimization of the ratio estimate of Evar , denoted
EMC
' ...

A fluorescence excitation spectrum of formic acid monomer
(HCOOH) , has been recorded in the 278-246 nm region and has
been attributed to an n >7r* electron promotion in the anti
conformer. The S^< S^ electronic origins ...

A method using L-cysteine for the determination of arsenous acid (As(III)), arsenic
acid (As(V)), monomethylarsonic acid (MMAA), and dimethylarsinic acid (DMAA) by
hydride generation was demonstrated. The instrument used ...

New and robust methodologies have been designed for palladium-catalyzed crosscoupling
reactions involving·a novel·class oftertiary phosphine ligand incorporating a
phospha-adamantane framework. It has been realized that ...

A^-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) have become the focus of much interest as ancillary
ligands for transition metal catalysts in recent years. Their structural variability and strong
cy-donation properties have led to the ...

The work to be presented herein illustrates several important facts. First, the
synthesis of BIBOL (19), a 1,4-diol derived from the monoterpene camphor has allowed
us to demonstrate that oxidative dimerizations of ...
